People to Know Today series. Opening with a highlight or turning point in the subjects' lives (rough-and-tumble George's first experience being moved by music, "The Donald"'s first season of The Apprentice), these biographies then go back to provide information about childhood, early accomplishments, and successes in later life. Sidebars and stock photographs enhance these adequate but unexciting introductions to well-known personalities. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2009
